happened in kenya, nairobi, kenya, and you think about what happened at the washington naval yard, sandy hook elementary school. it doesn't take much to want to be prepared and ready to handle an incident if it were to occur in our own backyard. and so we trained up over 200 of our own officers and almost 200 officers from the los angeles police department in enhanced training to enhance the training that they'd already received on this. and i can't tell you how many people, how many officers, have stopped me both today and yesterday to express how grateful they are that that training occurred. and so that training was provided not only by our officers who are trained and certified in that but also with the help of the los angeles police department. so, great cooperation here at this airport to ensure the safety of everybody. and so i just really want to end by once again saying how sorry we are that somebody -- that people had to be hurt in this incident, but we're confident that we're trying to do everything we possibly can do to keep this airport safe. thank you. >> thank you, chief.
